5.00Great experience for the whole family, that my kids enjoyed very much! The cooking lesson is a very good introduction to the most iconic dishes of Georgian cuisine (it can replace a food tour if you don't have time). Our host was welcoming, efficient and very well organized, something essential to any good cooking class. Elene, our guide, was very friendly and helpful and translated everything for us. She also gave us insightful information not only about the Georgian cuisine, but about many aspects of the Georgian culture. We had a wonderful time that left us with a very cozy feeling. Highly recommended!
Wonderful food. Wonderful company. 5 stars!

5.005+ stars! Georgian cuisine is wonderful and I wish I had known about it sooner. Mariam was an excellent guide. Eating dinner with her was like dining with one of your best friends and she is an archaeologist! Excellent dinner conversation. Couldn't have asked for a better evening.
Enjoyed making my favourite Georgian dishes

4.00The host was lovely and the guide, Keti, was excellent. We made 5 different dishes. Everything was delicious. The host even surprised me with cake for my birthday. I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make my favourite Georgian dishes. The only downside was getting the recipes from Gamarjoba. They initially referred us to Internet recipes and YouTube but eventually provided recipes from the host.
Amazing experience with a fabulous dinner at the end.

5.00I certainly wanted to do this tour while I was in Georgia. I have always been a massive fan of Georgian food and have even cooked some of it myself previously. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and got a lot out of it. The chef hosted us in her lovely home, taught us to make a variety of Georgian dishes, and at the end we had a huge feast with all the dishes we helped to create! Elene was great guide. Not only did she provide us translation, but explained many aspects of Georgian culture and we all had an engaging and educational conversation. We had a small group, and there was a great synergy between all of us. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone in Georgia who is interested in their cuisine!
A real taste of Georgia

5.00It was a lot of fun cooking and eating typical Georgian food, followed by a sweet and very nice host, as well as a great expert. I made friends with the other guys, because the atmosphere created by Maria was perfect. Really very good, I felt like talking to an old friend I know for years, she knew how to unite very well strangers in a nice group. I will always carry in my heart this wonderful experience 🫶🏻
Fantastic and welcoming

5.00Super fun tour. We meet our tour guide Kate and she took us to the hostess and her house where we had a fantastic workshop. We really enjoyed it and Kate took care of everything else in perfect English, like the translation and the history etc. Also after that she guided us very well in the route home. Super fun tour!

5.00My spouse and I only decided to do a cooking class on a whim because the Georgian food tastes so delicious and we were intrigued. Yet, the whole class with a talented local chef in her family home and especially our guide Nene's warmth was even more magical! The entire class—from kneading dough to savoring our own creations—felt intimate, authentic, and full of kindness. And when we finally sat down to taste the dishes we had made…wow. Each bite captured the heart and soul of Georgian cooking. All in all, what began as a spontaneous decision turned into one of our most memorable experiences in Georgia, with a real connection to Georgian culture and cuisine.
